Arenal and Spanish and Hispanist Feminist historiography in the Last Two Decades

Abstract

This  text  discusses the  contribution and  influence  of  the  journal Arenal in Spanish and  Hispanist  historiography  over  the  last  two  decades.  The  authors  aim  to reconstruct  the multiple factors which, in different moments and contexts, have encouraged the theoretical and thematic foundations of this publication. In a plural reading, it explores diverse topics including feminist debates, the incorporation  of new conceptual approaches and the interaction with other historiographical trends. Through a reading of Arenal, readers can follow some of the debates  that have characterized  the historical  research  on women  in the Hispanic  sphere since the 1990s.
